“We litigated this all through the election. People didn’t care,” Conway added.

During another interview on NBC’s “Meet The Press”, Conway also repeatedly clashed with host Chuck Todd over estimates of crowd size at Friday’s inauguration, saying the difference between media and administration officials amounted to “alternative facts.”

Conway also pushed back hard against suggestions that Spicer had deliberately misrepresented crowd size, telling Todd, “… if we’re going to keep referring to our press secretary in those types of terms, I think that we’re going to have to rethink our relationship here.”

Conway’s comments about the President’s tax returns seem to represent a departure from Trump’s earlier statements, which indicated that he would release his returns, if not for the fact that he was under audit by the Internal Revenue Service.
